Answer:

Molecular formula = S₂O ₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Empirical formula = SO₃

Molecular formula = ?

Molecular mass = 152 g/mol

Solution:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 80 g/mol

n = 152 g/mol / 80 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2(SO₃)

Molecular formula = S₂O ₆

The heat capacity of air is much smaller than that of water, and relatively modest amounts of heat are needed to change its temp

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$Q=9.2x10^5J$

$t=614s=10.2min$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can compute the energy by using the following formula for air:

$Q=nCp\Delta T$

Whereas the moles of air are computed via the ideal gas equation at room temperature inside the 5.5m x 6.5m x 3.0m-room:

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\\V=5.5m*6.5m*3.0m=107.25m^3*\frac{1000L}{1m^3}=107250L\\ \\n=\frac{1atm*107250L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298.15K}\\ \\n=4386.8mol$

Now, we are able to compute heat, by considering that the temperature raise is given in degree Celsius or Kelvins as well:

$Q=4386.8mol*21\frac{K}{mol*K}*10K \\\\Q=9.2x10^5J$

Finally, we compute the time required for the heating by considering the heating rate and the required heat, shown below:

$t=\frac{9.2x10^5J}{1.5\frac{kJ}{s}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ} } \\\\t=614s=10.2min$

Regards.

What is the most important question to ask to determine wheatear a change is physical or chemical

spin [16.1K]

The most important thing to determine whether a change is physical or chemical is whether the substance was changed. When the substance being changed, it is chemical change. Otherwise, it is physical.

How are put carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen different from the compound ethanol which contains all three of those elements

padilas [110]

Carbon, oxygen, & hydrogen may all be elements found in ethanol, but when separated, they have completely different chemical compounds. They are pure elements where as ethanol is a mixture.
